ive am a bolens collector but i always had a soft spot for the rj58. so after 10 years of looking i found this one last fall. well i started restoring it an i wanted to share some pics of the resto process.

well its almost done i just have to get the decals and paint the letters on the hood and engine shrould almond an i think im going to also paint the shifter almond like i did the seat, wheels, steering wheel and oil bath air cleaner. i think it really sets it off

THANKS for all the complements it took me a long time to find this tractor an it was all complete so it was a good find. i sold a beaver tractor to a guy at a show an i told him i was looking for a RJ so at the time i didnt have a computer an he took my number well it paid off an he called a month later say there was one in gettyburg pa with a moldboard plow an disc harrow for 500. i called the owner an set a date to get it an brought her home. o love this tractor an now shes looking good. i painted the letters on the hood today an that really puts the iceing on the cake
